Setup Steps:
Download and install jdk8.
Add the following to your project’s main build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:3.2.3'
}
}
Now add this to your application module’s build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' // or apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'me.tatarka.retrolambda'
Add these lines to your application module’s build.gradle to inform the IDE of the language level:
android {
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
Example:
So things like this:
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
log("Clicked");
}
});
Become this:
button.setOnClickListener(v -> log("Clicked"));
